5.0 out of 5 starsLesson in Magic IS magic!
By Oktyabr on July 24, 2012
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I have to admit, I probably don't fit the profile of the typical Samael fan. I'm 45 years old (at the time of this posting) and typically much more interested in creative electronica than in imported "black metal". I had my first taste of Samael when a youtube video used one of their songs from "Reign of Light" which I was at first struck by an immediate resemblance to Rammstein, a band I AM quite fond of. I immediately purchased the entire album as mp3 downloads. It's ok but really not my cup of tea, and I thought the dynamic range of the production was pretty limited and compressed. Maybe it grows on you after more listens? I certainly pick up the "industrial" elements in that album, the key to my decision to purchase it, but always wondered what they could do if they drifted a bit further in that direction. Reading reviews of some of their other releases I placed an order for this album, "Era One/Lession In Magic", on CD this time (prefer FLAC rips over mp3s) and just had my first spin this afternoon...

The first CD of the double set, "Era One", certainly shows more experimentation than "Reign of Light", with a few truly outstanding songs that I'm sure I'll enjoy listening to again. So far my favorites are the somber, purely instrumental "Era One" (and it's this track that hints greatly at what is to be found on CD2!) and the song "Voyage" that is unique on this album, in part because it does in a completely different singing style with a beat and feel that might be more at home in some sort of Depeche Mode mutation collection or something. Definitely a more interesting and involving CD than "Reign", at least in my opinion.

The second CD in the set, "Lesson In Magic" though is what really spurred me to write this review!Read more ›

2.0 out of 5 starsInteresting Background Noise
By Ty Arthur VINE VOICE on April 9, 2006
Format: Audio CD
With every new release, be it an EP or a full length album, Samael has evolved and matured their sound to new heights and explored musical territory not heard in their previous efforts. While primarily an extreme metal band, Samael is no stranger to softer music, having released an alternate edition of their album Passage titled "Xystras Xtras" in which all the songs were recorded using only keyboard. The two disc set Era One / Lesson in Magic #1 is much closer in style to Xystras Xtras than to heavier albums like Ceremony of Opposites, with many of the songs being entirely instrumental. Samael fans interested in checking out this release should be warned ahead of time that while Era One has moments of brilliance, it is certainly not up to the usual high standard set by these pioneers of metal. There is some dispute as to whether or not this material was even ever meant for release. It seems that Samael had a bit of a falling out with their record label, Century Media, and decided they wanted to move on to bigger and better things. Unfortunately, they still were under contractual obligation to give Century Media two more full length albums, so Era One was quickly thrown together. The fact that this album isn't even listed in the Discography section of Samael's official web site speaks volumes about the quality.

The opening title track is an entirely instrumental composition that piques the interest with multiple instruments and sound effects gradually being added on top of each other while continuing the same basic set of notes until reaching a fast paced crescendo laced with tribal drum beats. The next track, Universal Soul, sets the tone of the rest of the album with the ever present galactic themes that Samael focuses on.Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsExcellent Samael Project
By Jeff M. Stahl on April 6, 2006
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
As a long time fan of Samael (since Blood Ritual first appeared on the scene), I've always anxiously awaited every single album they've put out so when they announced the Era One project I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. Well, due to record label problems, it took a year or two for it to finally come to market but I can whole-heartedly say that it was worth every second of the wait. Samael have definitely grown over the years and their style has changed drastically. While many fans haven't liked the changes Samael have taken in the evolution of their music, I've always thought that each album gets even better. Era one is no exception. It blends much of the feeling we had from Xytras' "Passage" with more of the industrial feeling we have gotten with their newer work such as "Reign of Light". My hat goes off to Samael for, in my opinion, probably one of their best albums to date.

01. Era One - 4.5/5 - Sounds like a direct hold-over from Xytras' Passage but gently leads you in to the beginning of a very hard and heavy album. Excellent intro.

02. Universal Soul - 3/5 - I felt like this one was a b-side from "Reign of Light". Good song, but not nearly as catchy as the rest.

03. Sound of Galaxies - 5/5 - This song makes a very radical departure from the Samael we're all use to. Strong techno beats and repetative chorus will stick in your mind for days to come.

04. Beyond - 3/5 - Purely programmed music. Easily forgettable.

05. Night Ride - 5/5 - Another hard hitter on Era One. Lots of techno sounds but with excellent vocals.

06. Diamond's Drops - 4.5/5 - Very catchy tune that again, you'll be singing for days to come in your head.

07. Home - 3/5 - Meh. Another repetative programmed track like Beyond.Read more ›
